Gotta admit that, could need some rework.

We gotta choose someone to do the paper stuff then ...

I didn't realize it would require a basecode overwrite....as I stated earlier, I do not know how to mod for minecraft. The only game I ever modded for was WoW, and the hooks for the game were laid out easily for everyone to see and use. I take one look at a minecraft mod tutorial about "blockthis extends blockthat" and I'm dumbfounded. I can code up something in C/C++ or pseudo-C for you if you want. By the way, FiniteLiquid uses this technique as well, so I know it's possible.

Minecraft is based on Java, a REALLY easy language, but on the other side is a game that has less then zero mod-support.
The only reason people can mod it at all is the vast amount of tools people created allready ^^'

Anything performance-wise quite always needs basefilemodification and tons of work, that's why mods like Optimine are extremely rare.

Improving the networking would hit the same direction.

A timer is possible, but will generally cause a mess in SMP (Server/Client desynch) and is a rather ugly solution. But admitted, possible, didn't think about that part on the hurry.

Implementing this would either require some complex algorythm or a big "Do never place the pump above an ocean"-sign (people would ignore and kill their worlds, anyways).

Note: BP's quarry is a heck of a crappy code (efficiency-wise), at least the last time i've checked it. Dunno about it's Pump, but I would dare to assume it share's the code struct.

Quote from Hotbread

sorry for not being specific enough, but this would be an item, not a block, that would store lava to be used in geothermal gen.s (mainly) and could be used to re-claim cells that you want back. (by emptying cells into tank, then using tank for watever)

note: apon further brainstorming, possibly make the tank lava-only, making it easier to code and to be solely for geo-gens.

Exactly that's what i've meant.
Geo-Gen supporting a battery-like fuel object.
Next up would be people requesting pumps being capable to fill them with lava, etc...

Could be possible, but then again not.
I didn't yet meddle with trans-world travelling code and currently are busy with other segments of IC to try it ^^'

But per se i wouldn't say it's a bad idea.

This would be a nice solution to fix the issue of ridicolous component loss when wrenching expensive machines. A guy loosing a Macerator then and when is fair, but nukers are kinda expensive.

Metal Poles ARE IC's version of Elevators. Bug-free, easy to implement, CPU-efficient.
And goddamn stylish :O

Original idea: Overpowered.

Modified idea (use UUM to copy stuff): Automatized UUM-Crafting? You got BCs workbenches for that.

Once CPUs are finished you will be capable to construct some sort of "overclock" blocks, which will double nearby machine speeds, while quadroubling their EU usage.
Stackable effect.

Feel free to code it, not gonna bother to mess with minecrafts basecode there ^^'

@original suggestion, ignoring the whole OT-thread content:
Nope.

Unless the effect is meant to effectively kick mobs back, not posible.
A kick-back behavior would probably be buggy and somewaht CPU-using.

Would prefer not to implement this.

Quote from Kuudere

I would not hate this, as it does not add more ores to the ground, which is annoying

I still think it'd be kind of useless tho

Quite this is my oppinion, exspecially latter sentence.

I've recalculated the burn value stuff and thus a more balanced version of fuel will be in next version.

Per se, converting coal to fuel (after applying ressource and refinement costs) should result in 30% more energy gain.
For plantstuff, it's 15% (balance reason).

Please note, we can only store 32000 different values in an item. Thus, a helmet storing 1kk and only using 1 EUt (thus requiring existance of all single values form 0-1000000) is impossible.
Ntm how overpowered a 1kk-teslacoil would be.

Love the idea, though :3

Implementing something like this would be posible, but i bet the next suggestion would be to make these containers work with all machines (annoying modifications ned everywhere) ...

Fixed for next Release.

Wil be fixed in the next release.

Build a chest?
